When Ye Feng and Bai Furong arrived at the villa, they saw Li Qingcheng and Chen Tixiong warmly conversing with Prince Hamman!
Seeing Ye Feng enter, Li Qingcheng immediately said to Prince Hamman with a smile,
"Your Highness, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Ye Feng. During your days in Hong Kong, Mr. Ye Feng will ensure your safety!"
Upon hearing Li Qingcheng's words, Prince Hamman turned his gaze to Ye Feng. Noticing the latter was just a thin Chinese man with nothing exceptional about him, his brows slightly furrowed, followed by a relaxing spread, and he said to Ye Feng with a gentle smile,
"Mr. Ye, I appreciate the inconvenience during these days!"
Although Prince Hamman's attitude remained amiable, holding onto his noble composure, it was clear that this was merely out of respect for Li Qingcheng, and he truly did not take Ye Feng seriously.
Moreover, in his view, the Chinese man before him was too thin and frail, perhaps even less reliable than his own entourage of bodyguards!
Ye Feng naturally noticed the expression on Prince Hamman's face, but he did not mind and simply nodded faintly.
When Prince Hamman spoke to Ye Feng and Ye Feng responded with just a faint nod, showing no sign of respectful demeanor, the faces of Prince Hamman's bodyguards all changed.
And the frown on Prince Hamman's face gradually deepened.
For someone of his royal caliber, face was of utmost importance. If Prince Hamman spoke to a common person, the latter would certainly bow out of respect, but Ye Feng had done neither that, nor did his face show any sign of respect. This caused dissatisfaction in the hearts of Prince Hamman and his multitude of bodyguards.
"Mr. Ye, Prince Hamman is of the noble Arab Royal Family. When he speaks to you, you should bow to show your reverence! Otherwise, you are being far too disrespectful!"
At that moment, one of Prince Hamman's officials spoke up with a furrowed brow.
The words of this person also drew agreement from several other officials:
"Indeed! Our Prince travels with the same protocols as a King! Especially in our country, the people regard Prince Hamman as 'Prophet Muhammad,' kneeling to greet him! Although you are now in China, you should still bow!"
"Correct! Such is a disrespect towards our Prince and shows that you Chinese lack proper manners!"
...
The comments of these officials were sharper than the last, clearly adept in diplomacy, attacking the other's shortcomings with just a minor detail.
Chen Tixiong and Li Qingcheng looked somewhat displeased upon hearing these words, yet Prince Hamman did not speak up to stop them, evidently agreeing by default with what his subordinates were saying.
As these people droned on, Ye Feng's brows furrowed:
"Silence!"
The cold rebuke from Ye Feng instantly silenced the officials, who were staring at him agape, clearly not expecting someone to dare to scold them.
Ye Feng's gaze swept over the officials with a chill, and he stated indifferently,
"This is China, not the Arab world. He may be a Prince in your eyes, but in mine, he is merely someone I am tasked to protect! It isn't I who should bow to him, but he who should bow to me, because his life is in my hands!"
What!!!
Ye Feng spoke with fluent British English. After Prince Hamman and the officials heard it, their expressions changed instantly, their gaze towards Ye Feng becoming extremely hostile!
And Prince Hamman's bodyguards were itching to move; as soon as the Prince gave the word, they would teach this arrogant kid a lesson!
Prince Hamman's expression was extremely ugly, and anger surged in his heart. However, when he saw that the two Hong Kong big shots, Li Qingcheng and Chen Tixiong, did not stop Ye Feng's words, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Those dignitaries were best at reading words and expressions. Seeing that the Prince was somewhat dissatisfied, they immediately turned to look at Li Qingcheng and said:
"Mr. Li, I want to know if this is the way you Chinese greet your guests? This person is simply too uncultured, and doesn't deserve to be here at all!"
Li Qingcheng's brow furrowed. He had not expected that simply because Ye Feng had not bowed and paid his respects, it would lead to such an incident.
Li Qingcheng turned to face the Prince and said:
"Prince, your trip to Hong Kong is extremely dangerous. The Yamamoto Zaibatsu is eyeing you like a tiger eyeing its prey! And if you wish to leave Hong Kong safely, your greatest reliance is Ye Feng! Or rather, I feel that what Ye Feng said is correct, your life is indeed in his hands!"
Hmm?
If those words had come from Ye Feng's mouth, Hamman and the others would not have believed it at all. But now that it came from Li Qingcheng, they had no choice but to reconsider!
Just as Prince Hamman and the others were somewhat uncertain, from outside the villa, a voice suddenly came in a rush of urgency:
"No! Prince Hamman can't let him protect!!!"
This voice made everyone present startled and they turned to look, only to see the International Police officer, the Caucasian Jack!
Jack was walking a bit hunched over, obviously still in pain down there. His pale face showed a hint of annoyance and grudge, staring fixedly at Ye Feng:
"Prince Hamman, this man is too barbaric and domineering! You absolutely cannot let him protect you. Otherwise, it will only put you in danger!"
Having said that, Jack turned to look at Li Qingcheng:
"Mr. Li, the International Police have deployed a lot of forces to protect Prince Hamman. With us here, you can be assured! Moreover, adding useless manpower will only put Prince Hamman in jeopardy! Therefore, the protection task should be handed over to the International Police!"
Li Qingcheng naturally heard the hostility in Jack's words towards Ye Feng. His eyebrows furrowed tightly as he looked at Ye Feng:
"Ye, what do you think?"
"Since someone is protecting him, I'm naturally glad to be at leisure!"
Ye Feng smiled slightly. If he had not been concerned about China's dignity before, he would not have bothered to protect any damn Prince. Now that Jack was willing to take over, he was more than willing:
"However, let me be clear! If any mishap occurs, it will be the responsibility of your International Police, and it has nothing to do with China!"
"Fine!" Jack glared at Ye Feng with hatred and nodded in agreement:
"If anything happens to the Prince, we of the International Police will take full responsibility!"
Hearing the other party's assurance, Ye Feng smiled slightly, then greeted Bai Furong and turned to leave!
But at this moment, Li Qingcheng spoke:
"Ye, don't go tonight. There are some things I need to talk to you about!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng pondered for a moment. Last time, because of Chen Tixiong's presence, he had not inquired about the relationship between Li Qingcheng and Li Qingshan. Now seemed like a chance!
With that thought, Ye Feng nodded and agreed!
